BMX, or bicycle motocross, involves riding specially designed bikes on dirt tracks or purpose-built courses. The sport includes freestyle riding, which focuses on jumps and tricks, as well as BMX racing, where riders compete over short, technical tracks.
ActivitySure can cover BMX freestyle and BMX racing on an amateur basis when youre taking part abroad. Because the activity involves jumps, ramps and off-road terrain, its important to make sure your travel insurance is suitable for the level of riding you plan to do.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go BMXing?
BMX is popular worldwide, with strong riding communities in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Purpose-built dirt tracks, skate parks and BMX facilities are widely available in cities and sports centres, making it accessible for travellers taking part in casual riding, training sessions or organised amateur events.
Many riders take part recreationally while travelling, rather than as part of formal competition.
Here's why BMXing travel insurance matters:
BMX riding involves speed, aerial movement and uneven terrain, which increases the risk of falls and impact injuries. Broken bones, sprains and head injuries are possible, particularly during jumps or high-speed riding. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong while youre taking part.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear a full-face helmet, gloves and protective pads where recommended.
- Check your bike carefully for loose parts or damaged components before riding.
- Only ride on approved BMX tracks or designated skate parks.
- Avoid attempting jumps beyond your experience level.
- Always follow the instructions provided by the activity organiser or facility and adhere to any safety recommendations made, including wearing appropriate safety equipment.
